A 31-year-old woman slipped on the grass and fell from a 115-foot cliff to her death while posing for a picture in Turkey. The incident occurred on Sunday after the government lifted the coronavirus quarantine in the city.
Kazakh native Olesya Suspitsyna died in front of her female friend who was taking the photograph in the tourist city of Antalya in the south-west of the country as reported by The Daily Mail.

She climbed over the safety fence and started posing for the image in front of her friend, at one point, Olesya slipped on the grass, lost her balance and dropped off the 115 foot (35 metre) cliff to her death.

Olesya always loved the sea and dreamed of living in Turkey. She made her dream come true. More than anything she loved the feeling of freedom. This is an irreparable loss. My heart is broken.
Olesya worked as a tour guide in the city for the last five years. Her body is to be transported from Turkey to Kazakhstan on Saturday.
Turkey has shuttered schools, restaurants, and cafes to curb a surge in cases of the COVID-19 disease. Though some workplaces remain open, it has imposed partial stay-at-home orders, largely closed borders, and slowed domestic movement.
